Post 28g JBJ SPS dominated nano reef

Here are some pictures of my 28g nano reef. The standard JBJ 150W MH and 2 x 18W PC add-on lights are gone in favor of more energy efficient LED (not necessary less wattage but just more lumen per watt, less heat and longer life!).

Most of my corals are SPS.

Thanks! This set of pictures were taken in May. Now all the coral color is even better.

To be honest, I needed to do a little bit reading on zeo systems to find out what they are. No, I am not running a zeo system but just more traditional methods that seem to get result better by the week and this tank was set up in January this year 2012. I will post current photo soon.

These are the latest photos of my 28g reef tank I just took. This is the most colorful reef tank that I have ever achieved and really want to share my daily views of it with you. Thanks for all the nice remarks.
